Jim Jarmush Retrospective
A young Japanese couple travels by train to Memphis, the city where rock’n’roll and its legend Elvis Presley reigned. Their greatest wish is to feel a connection with their idol: to visit the recording studio where he worked and sit in the square next to his statue. For these fans, Presley is everywhere – they even see his image in Madonna and the Statue of Liberty. For an Italian stuck in Memphis, the King of rock’n’roll is nothing but a ghost of the past, and locals are tired of him. The three simultaneous stories are connected by Presley’s song “Blue Moon” playing throughout the film in the background.
